Scaradise 3

Monsters Inc. 2: Lost in Scaradise was a canceled sequel to Monsters Inc. It would have been produced by Circle 7 Animation, a company owned by Disney. It was gonna revolve around Mike and Sulley going to the human world to see Boo in time for her birthday. However, they instead find an old woman in her room. Trapped in the human world, Mike and Sulley must embark on a quest to find her and return to their world.

History[]

Pixar had a contract with Disney that would let them make 7 films on their own, with Disney only involved for distributing purposes. After this contract ended, rights to all franchises originally produced by Pixar would belong to Disney including rights to making sequels. When the 7th Pixar film, Cars, was finished, Disney formed another animation company known as Circle 7 Animation who began working on drafts for Toy Story, Monsters Inc., and Finding Nemo sequels. All of these planned sequels were cancelled, but most movies that were planned to get sequels via Circle 7 eventually did through Pixar.

In early 2006, it was decided that Disney would be better off owning Pixar altogether rather than just the franchises. As a result, Circle 7 Animation was shut down thus cancelling the drafts of the Toy Story, Monsters Inc, and Finding Nemo sequels, although Toy Story and Finding Nemo eventually got sequels made by Pixar, and Monsters Inc got a prequel.

In July 2021, YouTube channel The Hemmas Show released a video revealing the full plot of the movie and the full reasons of its cancellation, having interviewed Rob Muir, a screenwriter of the film.

Plot[]

One year after the events of the first film, on Boo's birthday, Sulley and Mike go to her house to wish her a happy birthday, however, when they get there, they find an old lady asleep in her bed. This leaves Sulley and Mike to think that Boo has moved to a new home, so Mike and Sulley set out to find her.

  • A prequel to Monsters Inc. titled Monsters University was released in 2013.
  • A world based on Monsters Inc appeared in Kingdom Hearts 3. The story on that world is implied to be after the events of 2001 film, though this could be non-canon.
  • Disney released a show on Disney+ called Monsters at Work, the first season takes place between the event where Sully realizes the laughs can save the company, and the ending of the film. The second season would likely act like a sequel to Monsters, Inc.
